    You'd have to build one of those because the didn't exist until 01. Vette is just a Vette. On your way to the kitchen for a midnight snack you don't peek into the garage and turn on the lights to catch a quick glimpse of your Vette. Buy the Z06, realize your mistake and then get the SRT10. 04 Z06's are selling in the mid 30's and you'll be able to pick up a used C6Z in a few years at that price also.

    Everyone complains about corvettes being common and use that to put them down as a lower car. Yet I haven't seen anyone say that or anything of the sort about Porsche. Maybe it just depends where you live, because here (Nashville) and in LA I would see about 5 Porsches for every one corvette. I think it's just because Porsche is Porsche while Corvette is Chevy.

    Sir, you're making assumptions about thing you know nothing of.

    My direct experience with drag racing culture illustrates that it has created all of this ritual surrounding drag racing to make it seem more complex. In reality, it really is stepping on the gas and driving in a straight line. A few seconds after the green light, it's all over with. Premature ejaculation.

    My experience with road racing [not lapping, not driver education or any of that club track bullsh*t] indicates that it requires so much more strategy and creativity that it captures my imagination. Road racing requires more than a few skills, one of which is discipline with the throttle. Racing for an hour in an endurance race beats driving in a straight line any day.

    Will this car be your daily driver? If not, why do you care how much money you will lose?

    If it will be the daily driver then it makes sense. The Viper is probably the best bet, but I think the Vette would be more comfortable.

    In terms of the performance haggling - who cares? Both cars have an insane amount of power and if you wanted to compare the two on a public road - you're only asking for trouble.

    Post your pics when you get it.

    The C6 Z06 is a ~127 mph trap car, the Viper is a ~122mph trap, if that. That is a substantial difference that will be most evident from a roll. The C6 Z06 runs up to ~198 mph in stock trim.

    I spent a day a few years back driving around a SRT (coupe) and it was July. In Chicago. I know it's not much lower temp in Mich. So, be sure you know that the Viper will get hot inside and you can't use the A/C in traffic (my personal experience and the latest Car and Driver both attest to that).

    I like the sublt styling of the Z06, the technology (magnesium and titanium parts) and the idea of not having to say "look at me" like a Viper can sometimes portray.

    I ordered a LeMans Blue C6 Z06 2 weeks ago, and getting ready for March delivery.

    This whole time I was just lying to myself by telling myself I wanted the Viper. At the end of the day, I wanted the Z that much more. I can't wait..:)
